In summer, the sun is always shining, the temperature on sunny days ranges from 5 to 10 degrees.oC. In winter, the entire South Pole has no daytime, it is always dark and record winter temperatures can drop below -80oC. Despite its harsh climate, Antarctica still has its own appeal to adventurous travelers. The best time to explore Antarctica is in the summer from November to March every year. Another special thing is that the time here is not synchronized with the position of the sun, when the "day" always lasts half the year in summer, and the other half of the year will be a cold winter immersed in darkness.
Coming to Antarctica, visitors will surely be overwhelmed by the majesty of the large white icebergs.
As a relatively new destination for Vietnamese tourists, Viet Global Travel has launched a unique 13-day, 10-night Antarctica tour, scheduled to depart at the end of this year, to bring a new product to the travel market and help tourists gain the most unforgettable experiences in the majestic and breathtakingly beautiful Southern Hemisphere.
Below are some of the highlights of our Antarctic exploration journey from Viet Global Travel.
Ushuaia city
Ushuaia City in Argentina is considered the "fairyland" of this country. Located at the southernmost tip of the South American continent and is also the city closest to Antarctica than any other city in the world. This city is known as "The End of the World", so if you have the opportunity to set foot in Ushuaia, you cannot help but check-in with the Ushuaia - Fin del munto sign - meaning "Ushuaia - the end of the world".
Drake Passage
The Drake Passage, named after the famous explorer Sir Francis Drake, who sailed through the waters in 1578, is a strait that separates the continents of South America and Antarctica. Drake Passage also marks the Antarctic – a biological barrier where cold water flows beneath warmer water. Visitors can also spot a variety of amazing seabirds, including albatrosses.
South Shetland Islands
During the journey, when you see icebergs or snow-capped mountains, it is also the time to set foot on the South Shetland Islands - a group of 20 large and small islands first discovered by Captain Williams in February 1819. South Shetland is home to many wild animals such as penguins, seals...
King George Island
This is the largest island of the South Shetland Islands, located 120 km off the coast of Antarctica in the Southern Ocean. King George Island currently hosts 44 research stations from 18 countries around the world. In this area, sedimentary, extrusive and other intrusive and extrusive formations are common.
Paradise Bay
Paradise Bay is now one of the most visited tourist destinations in Antarctica. Surrounding the bay are glacier-eroded mountains and ice-covered cliffs that reflect in the mirror-like waters of the bay.
